A theory that I've heard more than once is that the greys are future versions of us who travelled back in time. Why come to this time period? To see a Linda Ronstadt concert or awards ceremony?

Even thought I have no expertise, I decided to remix the Shoop Shoop song to give it a more stereo effect: It's In His KissNow I have an idea to remix The Married Men to put Phoebe in the left channel, Linda in the right, and see how that works out. Great job! Got it downloaded now. Thanks.

I think that plus other theories like interdimensional beings as well as visitors from other planets are all likely. One doesn't exclude the other. Looks like a good book.

Anyone know of a decent quality audio file of Linda and Phoebe on SNL? Seems the ones I had vanished... Thanks, peeps! Richard Kind of shocked to find I don't have them either. I have the original video on betamax from the night it was broadcast. Only problem is I have nothing to play it on. Either that or I have it hidden on my computer under the wrong name or file.

He wrote “Women Cross the River” and “1917”. Olney died of a heart attack during a performance onstage at the 30A Songwriter Festival in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, on January 18, 2020, at age 71. "David was playing a song when he paused, said 'I'm sorry' and put his chin to his chest. He never dropped his guitar or fell off his stool. It was as easy and gentle as he was," Scott Miller said.

The more people that "save" stuff like this the better as long as they are willing to share later on one would hope. gettyvideo.digitalpigeon.com/msg/nwqwMDUTEeqsnwbIWq2rQQ/uiG59hGnwors_PToa5Y6XgI don't think he would mind me posting it.

Singer David Olney Dies During Performance at Florida’s 30A FestivalChris Willman VarietyJanuary 19, 2020, 11:48 AM MST www.yahoo.com/entertainment/singer-david-olney-dies-during-184852912.html
Singer-songwriter David Olney has died at age 71, after falling silent and dropping his head in the midst of a performance at the 30A Songwriters Festival in Florida Saturday night.
Some news reports said he “collapsed” on stage, but that isn’t quite true: Olney simply became still on his stool, leading some audience members and even the musicians beside him to think he was simply taking a pause, before they realized what had happened and lowered him to the stage.

Olney was giving his second festival performance of the day as part of an “in the round” song-swap show with Amy Rigby, who was sitting next to him and described his last moments.
“Olney was in the middle of his third song when he stopped, apologized, and shut his eyes,” Rigby wrote on Facebook. “He was very still, sitting upright with his guitar on, wearing the coolest hat and a beautiful rust suede jacket we laughed about because it was raining like hell outside the boathouse where we were playing — I just want the picture to be as graceful and dignified as it was, because it at first looked like he was just taking a moment.”
Added Rigby, “Scott Miller had the presence of mind to say we needed to revive him. Doctors in the audience and 30A folks were all working so hard to get him to come to … We all lost someone important last night.”
Miller described the scene similarly in his own post: “David was playing a song when he paused, said ‘I’m sorry’ and put his chin to his chest. He never dropped his guitar or fell of his stool. It was as easy and gentle as he was. We got him down and tried our best to revive him until the EMTs arrived. … The world lost a good one last night. But we still have his work. And it still inspires. And always will. RIP.”
A half-hour performance Olney gave earlier in the day on his own was captured on video and posted to YouTube.
Olney was a revered figure in the folk-rock and Americana communities who had recorded 20 albums of his own as well as having his songs covered by Emmylou Harris, Linda Ronstadt, Del McCoury and his former roommate Steve Earle.
The late Townes Van Zandt famously said of Olney: “Any time anyone asks me who my favorite music writers are… I say Mozart, Lightnin Hopkins, Bob Dylan and Dave Olney. Dave Olney is one of the best songwriters I’ve ever heard — and that’s true. I mean that from my heart.”
Harris, in particular, brought attention to Olney as a songwriter with her covers of “Jerusalem Tomorrow” in 1993 and “Deeper Well” on her essential 1995 album “Wrecking Ball.”
Olney first became known as a member of the X-Rays, a more raucous band that was signed to the Rounder label in the early 1980s and opened for acts like Elvis Costello. He also recorded for Rounder later in his prolific career as a solo artist, along with other labels like Philco.
He had just completed a new album. Brett Ryan Stewart wrote on his Facebook page: “Yesterday, myself, Anana and Irakli had spent the day making final revisions to the album we made with David Olney. In the very same moment that we hit the save button, collectively yelling ‘We did it!’ we got the news that David, who was in Florida performing, had passed away, on stage. It’s all very surreal. … I am so grateful for our time together. I recognized a kindred spirit in him from day one. His stories, his encouragement, his wisdom. Hands down was of the funniest, gentlest, most thoughtful and charming curmudgeons to have graced the earth. Was really looking forward to more.”
The 30A Songwriters Festival takes place in 32 venues along coastal Florida’s scenic Hwy 30A. The acoustic nature of many of the shows attracts folk, Americana and roots performers, although, with Brian Wilson as one of the headliners this year, it spotlights other genres as well.
Olney was doing his third performance of the fest when he passed away, having performed the previous night in-the-round with Amelia White and Mary Bragg before his solo show Saturday afternoon. He was also scheduled to appear this week at the Folk Alliance gathering in New Orleans.
Born in 1948, the musician moved to Nashville in 1973 after and became part of what some would describe as a seminal alternative-country scene that included Earle, Van Zandt, Guy Clark and Rodney Crowell. Outside of performing his own material, Olney appeared at the Nashville Shakespeare Festival in shows like a contemporary updating of “As You Like It,” and he was known to write his own sonnets. Said Emmylou Harris, “David Olney tells marvelous stories, with characters who cling to the hope of enduring love, all the while crossing the deep divide into that long, dark night of the soul.”
Olney is survived by his wife, Regine, daughter, Lillian, and son, Redding. Services have not yet been set.
In the wake of his passing, some fans and friends posted videos that shared his lighter side, like his cover of the Nancy Sinatra/Lee Hazlewood classic “These Boots Are Made For Walkin’,” which revived the go-go choreography of the original.
Others naturally opted for his more elegiac numbers, like “The Moment I Tell You Goodbye,” with these lyrics:
The ceiling will fall to the floor The windows will walk out the door The old clock will run out of time And reason will run out of rhyme
The sea will no longer be blue The truth will no lo longer be true And ev’rything left is a lie The moment I tell you goodbye
Tomorrow will never begin Forever will come to an end The sun will fall from the sky The moment I tell you goodbye

From what I know about Wendy she was very disappointed her star didn't catch on so much as Linda's or other more successful female vocalists. She more than made up for it imo with some great songwriting. I was a fan of Wendy's early on before I knew of a Ronstadt connection. or a Bonoff connection. or a Gold connection. or an Edwards connection. She made some great music for herself and others including the haunting song Is He Coming At All.
I don't know much about Maria except her more popular songs Midnight at the Oasis and I'm A Woman. I also recall the three of them considering a band together along with Bonnie Raitt but obviously that never happened.

Sharry EdwardsSOUNDHEALTHThe Institute of BioAcoustic Biology & Sound Health has taught us that nothing is hidden from your own voice. You may be able to lie to your friends and deceive yourself with your words but the vocal frequencies do not lie. Vocal Profiling computer software can evaluate the frequencies, architectures and harmonics of your voice. Vast frequency based databanks can now be used to create a report of what you really think, who you are emotionally and the status of your health and wellness. The frequencies missing from your voice are just as important as those that are present. An entire matrix of information, from your DNA to your partner preferences can be evaluated.
The research being conducted by the Institute of BioAcoustic Biology is on the forefront of energy medicine; creating the doorway to our next dimension of health revolution. In addition, the techniques hold promise in answering questions about how our universe was formed, and how our aging and perception of time can be monitored using frequency.
About Sharry Edwards™
Named Scientist of the Year in 2001 for her work in BioAcoustic Biology by The International Association of New Science
Sharry Edwards™ is the pioneer in the study of Human BioAcoustic Biology. Her 30 years of research is being used at the Institute of BioAcoustic Biology in Albany, OH.
Sharry Edwards’ work is now included in The Duke University Encyclopedia of New Medicine, by Leonard A. Wisnecki and The Scientific Basis of Integrative Medicine, by Lucy Anderson. The effects of BioAcoustic Biology, now accepted by these prestigious medical encyclopedias, have unlimited health and wellness potential.
According to Edwards, “BioAcoustics Voice Spectral Analysis can detect hidden or underlying stresses in the body that are expressed as disease.” The vocal print can identify toxins, pathogens and nutritional supplements that are too low or too high. In addition, vocal print can be used to match the most compatible treatment remedy to each client. The introduction of the proper low frequency sound to the body, indicated through voice analysis, has been shown to control: pain, body temperature, heart rhythm, and blood pressure. It has also been shown to regenerate body tissue, and alleviate the symptoms of many diseases (in some cases, even those considered to be incurable).

Richard, I'm sure you are often right. After receiving an email reply from the filmmaker behind "The West" stating that it, indeed, is Linda in the background during the documentary and that it was recorded in her living room, I emailed him back to ask a few more questions. Here was his kind second reply -- "I wish I could give you a good long story, but it was almost 20 years ago, and there isn't much to tell. Linda was very gracious, and we did an interview about her upbringing and her thoughts about the history of the West. She recorded a few songs, and that was it. Sorry to say that the original material is part of a massive archive from the 12 1/2 hour series, and getting access to it is not possible. " Of course, it is amazing to think that he sat down in Linda's living room to discuss her life and what she knew about the West, and her family's place / history in the Southwest. And then she graciously sang songs in her living room. Sounds like a dream evening to be invited into Linda's living room and a) to have her sing; and b) to be allowed to record her doing so. Does not surprise me that she would be so gracious.

My greatest fear for Linda's health right now is her taking a bad fall, breaking a hip and developing pneumonia or getting some infection prevalent in hospitals. Pneumonia is one of the greatest risks to those with her malady. She shouldn't be taking any more risks. It might be time for one of her kids to "step in and step up" for her in these types of ceremonies. Either that or have her do a "video" acceptance. Buying time may help with new health discoveries.

The Story Behind The Song: Neil Young - After The Gold Rush By Nick Hasted (Classic Rock) November 12, 2016
Influenced by an end-of-the-world screenplay and feverishly crafted while on tour with Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, it was a leap of faith that became one of Neil Young's most enduring songs
Neil Young live in 1970 (Image credit: Getty Images)
Neil Young’s most mysterious song has its beginnings in the wilds of Peru in 1969, where an out-of-control Dennis Hopper was directing The Last Movie, his follow-up to Easy Rider. With Hopper was his friend Dean Stockwell, a minor child and teen star of the 1940s and 50s, later famous for the 90s time-travel TV hit Quantum Leap.
“In Peru, Dennis very strongly urged me to write a screenplay,” Stockwell recalls, “and he would get it produced. I came back home to Topanga Canyon [in the mountains outside LA] and wrote After The Gold Rush. Neil was living in Topanga then too, and a copy of it somehow got to him. He had had writer’s block for months, and his record company was after him. And after he read this screenplay, he wrote the After The Gold Rush album in three weeks.”
Stockwell’s screenplay is long lost. Young’s biographer Jimmy McDonough was told that it was “an end-of-the-world movie”, which ended with a tidal wave crashing towards its hero as he stood in the parking lot of the Topanga hippies’ favourite hang-out, the Corral, whose regulars included Young and Joni Mitchell. Stockwell’s friend Russ Tamblyn was set to play a rocker recluse living in a castle, and wild-haired local artist George Herms was meant to haul a “tree of life”, like Christ with his crucifix, across the Canyon.
“It’s not a linear, regular storytelling kind of film,” Stockwell explains. “Really what was in my mind was that the gold rush in effect created California. And the film took place on the day California was supposed to go into the ocean. So that’s what happened after the gold rush.”
“I read the screenplay and kept it around for a while,” Young wrote in his 2012 autobiography Waging Heavy Peace. “I was writing a lot of songs at the time, and some of them seemed like they would fit right in with the story.”

Stockwell brought producers from the company Hopper was contracted to, Universal, to Topanga, introducing them to potential local cast-members such as Janis Joplin, and Young, who was keen to write the soundtrack. But the execs were having enough trouble with Hopper, and ran a mile from the chaotic hippie utopia.
Undeterred, Young went ahead with the music. The After The Gold Rush album was recorded between legs of Crosby, Stills Nash & Young’s massive 1970 US tour, and immediately after Young’s shows that March with the grungier Crazy Horse. After early sessions in Hollywood’s Sunset Studios, most of it was recorded in the lead-lined basement of his house in the Canyon. There was barely space in the cramped room for CSN&Y bassist Greg Reeves, Crazy Horse drummer Ralph Molina, Young and his newest recruit, teenage guitarist Nils Lofgren.
“I was an eighteen-year-old who was with these twenty-three, twenty-four-year-old people, and it was all overwhelming to me,” Lofgren recalls. “I was the kid who tagged along. We did it in this little studio, with a little side control room that [producer] David Briggs managed the sound on, with a remote truck out in the driveway. Neil didn’t mind rehearsing a bit, but we didn’t belabour stuff.”
Southern Man would become After The Gold Rush’s most infamous song after Lynyrd wrote Sweet Home Alabama in response to it. But the album’s true centrepiece was its title track. Young sings alone at the piano for its first two minutes, after which he’s joined by session player Bill Peterson’s mournful flugelhorn.
Its three verses set out contrasting scenes. The first is a medieval panorama of knights and peasants. In the deeply evocative second, Young is ‘lying in a burned-out basement’ when the sun suddenly rips through the night. ‘There was a band playing in my head,’ Young responds wearily, ‘and I felt like getting high.’ In the final verse those chosen take humanity’s ‘silver seed’ into space while others are left behind, as the world dies.
“The song was written to go along with the story [of the film],” Young reflected in Waging Heavy Peace, “and the main character, as he carried the Tree of Life through Topanga Canyon to the ocean.”
“It relates to the screenplay in an artistic way, not directly, in dialogue or anything,” says Stockwell, who Young invited to watch the sessions. “That’s how he found himself in it, which coincided beautifully with what I had in mind. Neil’s rush of writing then has something to do with the film – with the exception of Southern Man. If you could calculate the amount of human energy that goes into the making of one of his songs, you would have a really fucking high number, man.”
“Neil never told me what the song was about,” Lofgren says. “I’d love to bend his ear about it. It’s like it’s all our own fantasies, as we hear the words. But look, man, I was standing there in the control room, looking through the glass watching him play that thing on the old upright piano, and it’s still on the road with him. We took it on the Trans tour and I got to play it a lot, and at some of the Bridge School benefits too. It’s a very historic piano, certainly in my life.”
“After The Gold Rush is an environmental song,” Young said, trying to finally nail its meaning for McDonough. “I recognise in it now this thread that goes through a lotta my songs that’s this time-travel thing… When I look out the window, the first thing that comes to my mind is the way this place looked a hundred years ago.”
Rolling Stone ripped the album apart at the time of its release in 1970. But it would be the first of Young’s solo albums to hit the US Top 10, paving the way for its chart-topping follow-up, Harvest.
“And even then, though I had the album,” Stockwell reflects ruefully, “I still couldn’t get that screenplay produced.”
